    While making a custom encoder/decoder, it is possible to support additional data formats so that users don't need to do 
    @Serializable(with = ...::class)
    whenever they use the data format? For example, support UUID:
    class MyEncoder : NamedValueEncoder {
     fun encodeInt() { ... }
      ...
     fun encodeUUID() { ... }
}
class MyDecoder : NamedValueDecoder {
      fun decodeInt() { ... }
       ...
      fun decodeUUID() { ... }
    And then users can do:
    @Serializable
data class OtherFormats(val uuid: UUID)
    Instead of:
    @Serializable
data class OtherFormats(@Serializable(with = UuidSerializer::class) val uuid: UUID)
    (where 
    UuidSerializer
    is the name of a class annotated with 
    @Serializer(forClass=UUID::class)
    )

    There's a 
    @Serializer(forClass=UUID::class)
    you can look into.

    That requires you to do 
    @Serializable(with = UuidSerializer::class)
    Copy to Clipboard
    When 
    UuidSerializer
    is the name of a class annotated with 
    @Serializer(forClass=UUID::class)
